What is Mobile Grapevine for?

Dear reader,

I wanted to take a moment to better define what Mobile Grapevine is for. Simply put, it's to make it where both Table Top and Live Action Role Playing games can take advantage of smart phones, tablets, and similar devices. As an avid Android user, I've been looking for a good character sheet tracker app for years, but keep coming up short. There are apps for the iPhone, but the lack the function of Adam Cerling's Grapevine, and fall short of being truly innovative.

My long term goal is to provide support to both Android and iOS so they can not only keep track of sheets, but also have game masters/storytellers monitor changes, and allow players and storytellers to activate abilities within the game on each other to speed up the flow of the more mechanical parts of the game.

If you wish to help me, what I really need now is finances. Feel free to donate and leave a message on what you'd like worked on first. Right now I'm quite a ways away from releasing the first live update of the Android side (V0.1), and haven't even started to really work out the iOS version. Any amount helps, but to really get off the ground I think I need somewhere around $350, not a lot, but more than I have right now. At $2000 I can really knuckle down and focus on both versions, and would be able to have them released by July.

Please leave comments and questions, and I'll get back to people as soon as I can.

Version 0.02!

Hey all,

This is my first post on my progress towards V1.0 of Mobile Grapevine.  The name is subject to change when I finally release both the Android and iOS versions!
